Funny enough, I loved that app, and use it for news rather than Google news

A trap for people isn’t something I’d consider “useful”.

Just like a pedo van offering free food to kids… sure kids get fed, but at what cost?

And without my.comment, fewer hits because users cannot see it, which means less people provide training data.

No single drop feels responsible for the flood.

What gets us there is long term stability.

Grow organically, and they will come.

First, the tech enthusiasts, then tech journos, then normal journos, then normals.

It’s how online spaces grow.

I did, bc reddit locked up my content, and wanted to use it to train a LLM.

Let people ask again, here, in the fediverse.

And another good option!

You have a couple of options:

First, get the gun, but before that, line up a “firing pin buddy” who can keep parts to make sure your firearms cannot fire. You give the person your firing pins when needed, or they feel they need to.

Or, don’t get a gun, and git gud at other valuable skills. First aid, mutual aid networking, etc etc. Also, pepper gel is decent enough for self defense. Also, cane fighting skills work well, and a lot of self defense cases exist, for example.

I literally hate the new reddit UI, as do most peeps I’ve spoken with…

The new reddit UI is designed to push ads, and push premium subs.

Which ones? Epsteins clients came from all over the world…

Where can I not consent to capitalism in the world, without having to starve and be homeless?

Basically, yes. Everything is commoditized, even the abuse of humans.

My Pixel 6 pro needed one replacement, for a dead green circle in the corner.

They insisted it was my fault, and I loaded unapproved software that did it (I didn’t, I’m boring with my phones these days).

It got replaced, I had to pay to get it replaced (25USD)…

The phone was a disappointment, though, from day 1.

I guess you wouldn’t see it as extremist, either, if you were one of the peeps getting fussy about a black woman in a video game…

We do.

It’s mailto or mime for the scheme. There’s even mbox as a scheme.

I thinks it’s more a flavor, than a genre.

You can get “goblincore” vibes that span genres. ICP would likely be “goblincore” but so would a lot of Billie Eilish, and some Lupe Fiasco.

Think grungy, anti-establishment type of vibes, regardless of genre. And yes, anti-establishment is subjective, in this case.

Not universal, and something like 36% believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

But all of them voted to ban abortion, so they can sod off with “Well, it’s not what I believe”…

Something like 15% believe immigration should increase, and 37% believe it should stay the same. Believing immigration should decrease is a minority opinion among Republicans.

And yet, they voted to eliminate all non-white immigration. So, again, they can sod off.

Not sure what you mean by that, Democrats also want to control health care, that’s why the ACA exists (they want everyone enrolled in health insurance, which gives the government more control over health care).

The ACA regulated health insurance, not health care. Reich Wingers want health care choices controlled, while de-regulating corporations.

If you can be more precise, I can look up some statistics.

Look up the percentage that voted for Trump, and that’s your percentage of people who are Reich Wingers and want to have the state tell humans what health care they can get like:

• Hormone therapy
• Mental healthy care
• Reproductive health care

About 41% of Republicans believe religious Republicans have too much control over the GOP, and about 27% of Republicans are unaffiliated with any particular religion, 13% are atheist, and 34% say “nothing in particular” (I guess that means areligious).

What percentage of them voted for Trump?

Because that percentage voted for a Christofascist system of government.

Trumpism is isolationist, which is the opposite of wanting to interfere w/ other countries. There are a lot of anti-Trump Republicans (in 2019, though they’re probably not going to be as vocal this term.

Trump is an isolationist. Unless it’s:

• Israel
• Russia
• North Korea
• Anywhere in the middle east with brown people living there
• A place that has oil, or real estate he can profit from

So if you’re looking for anti-interference Republicans, look no further than Trump. There are also plenty of anti-interventionist Republicans in the anti-Trump crowd as well.

Sure… “Anti-interference”, unless it’s a friend of his like Putin, or Assad, etc etc.

So yeah, there’s a bunch of stats for you. I’m also guessing we’ll see those numbers go up quite a bit after Trump’s term is up, because a lot of those answers are likely colored by recent rhetoric.

Those stats are meaningless. The only stat that matters is who they voted for.

I could list specific politicians if that’s what you’re looking for, but I find that much less interesting than statistics.

Sure, find me a Reich Winger who isn’t what I described. I’m sure they will be a lot like “Trump is really anti-interference!”

That is literally what makes up right wing ideology… Prove me wrong. Because, yes, every Reich Winger thinks that some level of control over others is a requirement of society.

Control of women’s bodies.

Control of immigrants.

Control of health care.

Control of religious views.

Control of other countries.

Show me a Reich Winger who doesn’t believe that someone needs to control others, and I’ll walk that back.

I think printers is kinda going the way of having to support winmodems for Linux… Just not as important as it used to be.

Last time I printed something was for a pistol permit. 3 years ago. And I just sent that to Office Depot to print it, and picked it up on the way to the permit office.

Students at the local uni don’t really need printers, either. Generally, the few times they do, there’s public printers to email the doc to, and go pick up (Or, QR code and a phone, etc).

Personal printers just aren’t that big of a deal these days.

Of course, discussing political ideology is “partisan”… Its exactly what we’re talking about.

And no, they’re not just talking points, it’s literally how we describe the various systems of political ideology… Reich Wingers look to construct a society around control and subservience. And, like I said, the question of “who” to obey, and how strictly people are to be controlled are what differentiates the various Reich Wing ideologies.

Reich Wing ideology, the entire thing, relies on subservience and deference to authority. The difference in the various flavors of it are just how much and who.
